<quoted text>why was he not charge with homicide with a motor vehicle ? That is what everyone else is charged with when they are drunk and kill someone !!!

Does anyone know what screening is done to prospective police officers? Does anyone know who in Stockbridge would have made the decision to hire John Torres even after he was fired from Lansing as a police officer following his fatal drunk driving crash he was arrested for. I think this was not being Mr law-a-bider. Torres pleaded not guilty when he was arrested when his blood alcohol test proved he was. I think that was not being Mr. Truthful either. Does anyone know who made the decision to hire Torres & give him the authority to make decisions on who should go to jail & then testify in court, with people expecting to believe him because he is a police oficer?

They don't need this law, anyone accepting an appointed office or an elected office in government, should not only expect drug and alcohol testing on hire and randomly after hire, but they should also get a pre-hire polygraph and post hire polygraphs at random and for just cause.

If you illiminiate all criminals from public office then we have to start all over again. What a great concept. Lets start again with public servants instead of government officials. No career politicians only those who obey their oath of office and abide by and respect the constitution of the USA.

There r many people in politics in wayne county who should be felons but have fallen between the cracks!Former and present.the good ole' days r gone! They r living high off the hog illegally at others expense and numerous conflicts

Correction:Given that the county is run by Muslims, I doubt they are living high off the hog. More likely they eat Halal and French. Ficano himself, being a Dhimmi, always buys.

I think a politician should be ban for life from holdng a public office position for any kind of crime committed. Pubic office positions should set an example. And it someone writes a bad check they have time to make it good or make payment arrangements.

You can't take away a constitutional right, regardless of the party they vote for. This is another idiot republican scam to eliminate people who don't vote for them.

The legal system is a joke the average person gets slammed for any infraction, but politicians never go to jail for anything, in fact "we don't look backwards on their crimes", anyone supporting this is basing their politics on hate, and Michigan has had enough of that. This is how the people stay divided open up your eyes for once.

The people stay divided because they listen to the propaganda spewed by the media and the politicians... While we are all arguing with each other because of the unfairness of it all, politicians gleefully take away our constitutional rights...The constitution gives us the right to the opportunity to do better for ourselves, it does not give the politicians or the people the right to take what one American has earned and give it to another American who did not work for it... In the brilliance and simplicity of the constitution what someone works for they get to keep, that is FAIR!!!!Wake-up our president does not believe this simple constitutional principle!!!!

I don't know much about all the theories about the shocks that have occurred around the world, administered by politicians and big business but I'm personally shocked as to the level of ignorance the American public has about their leadership and their rights and responsibilities as American citizens...Without an informed, engaged republic, shock and awful will continue!!!!!

Against. The Michigan Penal Code is archaic.Example: Write a bad check for $200 or more at a retail outlet and you're charged with a felony. When its all said and done, you'll walk away with a misdemeanor, if that.Take a $10 item from a store or building, and you're charged with a felony and guess what ... if you're convicted, you're a felon, and you may never get that erased from your record.Have a felony on you record, no matter how slight, and try to get it erased or forgiven.Not in any court in Michigan.Michigan's penal code is archaic.

I know what to do about this. Now this might seem a little crazy but just hear me out ok? DON'T WRITE BAD CHECKS OR STEAL DUMMY!
